Trainers, Dog Groups, and Training Links

The Humane Society Yukon and Mae Bachur Animal Shelter provide the following trainers and sites for information only. We do not support one group or training style over the other, and provide this information in an effort to help you achieve a well balanced and well behaved animal companion. We encourage you to pick a trainer and training method that suits you and your pet in order to achieve a happy, healthy and stable relationship. You can also choose an interest group that will allow you to do creative and stimulating things that will be fun for you both. Any activities you can do with your pet only help create a greater bond and friendship between you, and prevents destructive behaviour from boredom, lack of stimulation and exercise. Remember, dogs were bred for a job, and they need to do something active to be happy!
